Ursula Moray Williams

When Uncle Peder the toymaker falls on hard times, his little wooden horse must go out into the world to seek his fortune. But whether he's working in a coal mine, sailing the seven seas with a band of pirates, or walking the tightrope in a circus, the loyal little horse only has one wish: to return to his beloved master.

Originally published in 1938, Ursula Moray-Williams' Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse is her most famous story and continues to be one of the most-loved classic stories of children's literature.
